NAPLES, Fla. – The LPGA will co-sanction the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open with the Ladies European Tour next year, LPGA commissioner Mike Whan announced Friday.
The event will be played July 27-30 at Dundonald Links in North Ayrshire, the week before the Ricoh Women’s British Open.
The 156-player field will play for a $1.5 million purse. Whan said half the field will be made up of LET players and half LPGA players.
“Aberdeen Asset Management wanted to create on the women's side something very similar to what they created on the men's side, which is a big global event that will be televised around the world that bring two tours together, and to do that right before we play the Ricoh Women’s British Open,” Whan said.
